Of course, these red helmet throwbacks honor the Bills’ Super Bowl teams of the 1990s.
Buffalo last donned the red helmets for the team’s Week 18 game against the New York Jets. That game was of course the final matchup in the original Highmark Stadium, which is now in the process of being demolished.
Prior to Week 18 last season, the Bills had not worn their classic Super Bowl uniforms since the 2001 NFL season. In 2002, the team changed that uniform to adopt a darker hue of blue (royal), while adding a healthy dose of accent colors throughout the uniform and red helmet’s stripes.
